Chapter 17

Hikan's POV

I heard a splash come out of the lake, I turned around and was met by a gorgeous view, A woman popped out of the lake, she had long white hair that went down to her waist, and she had dark purple eyes, she had a nice curvy body and looked extremely beautiful, she kinda looked like Noire in her CPU form, but she had those eyes like Neptune, she looked over at me and her face turned shocked and she started blushing, she then covered herself with her arms and went down into the water and screamed, oh yeah I was in a bad position wasn't I?

"KYAAAAA!" she screamed and what happened next I wasn't expecting, she materialized some sort of black katana and threw it at me, the blade was following where ever she moved her hand and it was heading straight for me, I couldn't dodge in time, the blade went straight through my chest and I fell backwards, Why does it always have to be me?

The blade de-materialized and blood shot out of my chest, I coughed up a bit of blood, the healing ability started to activate, but it hurt like hell, the woman that was in the lake was now in her clothes, which was the yukata I was talking about, stood next to me, she had her hair tied into one long pony tail, it was tied up with a large black ribbon, she was on her knees beside me,

"You really are 'him'." she said, what did she mean by that, did she know me?

"..." I tried to say something, but couldn't, I guess I couldn't talk while healing, fair enough, I felt myself losing consciousness, I guess it destroys your energy as well.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." the girl said and she smiled at me, just who was she? Before thinking anything else, I blacked out.


Neptune's POV

"Hey Nep wake up!" I heard a voice yell, who dares to interrupt my precious dream of me and Hikan!

"Zzz... five more minutes..." I mumbled, I want to stay in my dream world,

"Hikan's gone!" another voice said, wait what?! I shot my eyes open and looked at where Hikan was, he wasn't there,

"W-W-What happened to him?! Where is he?!" I yelled, Hikan was missing and no-one knows where he went?!

"Calm down, we just need to find him." Iffy said, I hope he's alright, he does leave, but he also comes back every time,

"C'mon we're moving out now!" I said and started to run in a random direction, I don't care how long the distance or how dangerous it is, I'm going to find him!

"Hey Nep! Wait up!" Iffy said as she and Compa were running behind me, I'm not stopping until I find Hikan, I ran past a couple trees and ran down a different path,

"Hikan!" I yelled, all I heard was my echo, I was about to run to a different location, but was stopped by Iffy,

"Nep, we need to take this slow, maybe he went to check something out, let's stay back at camp okay, he'll be back." she said, as much as I wanted too I didn't want to go back and wait, my Nep senses are telling me that he's in some kind of danger,

"Iffy, we can't go back, we need to find him." I said, she shook her head,

"He knows his way around, and he's strong so nothing will happen to him." Iffy said placing a hand on my shoulder, I was so worried about him, but she's right, Hikan is strong and he's one of the main characters so he'll be back, we just need to find an event flag is all, and I know where to find one,

"Okay, we'll go back." I said, we turned around and Compa finally caught up to us,

"You... two... run too... fast." she said, she looked like she was about to pass out,

We made our way back to the camp and as I predicted, there was someone at our camp, the figure was wearing a black cloak, he was a little bit taller than me, he was staring in a certain direction, like he was watching someone, "So, looks like I was right, alright tell us what you did with Hikan!" I said in triumph, he turned around and looked at us, Iffy got into a battle stance and her blades in her sleeves, I think Hikan called them hidden blades, withdrew and she stared at him,

"Ahh, the CPU of Planeptune and the two normals. I don't know what you're talking about, I had nothing to do with Hikan." He said, classic enemies always telling lies,

"That's a lie, you're part of that saviors group aren't you!" I argued, the guy shook his head,

"I don't need to tell you that, but I will anyway, I am the future CPU of Leanbox, you can call me Nagana." he said, Nagana? Isn't that like a disease or something?

"Well Nagana, there's no use lying, tell us what you did with Hikan." IF said, Nagana shook his head again,

"Like I said, I did nothing with Hikan, but I will say this, don't trust him, he is dangerous," He said, I don't like the way he's badmouthing my Hikan! "Besides, I came here for a reason, Purple Heart, you will be coming with me." He said and he turned his whole body to face me,

"No, I don't really want to go." I said, he stood there and shook his head again, he really liked doing that,

"You don't have a choice." He said and he pulled out two daggers from his pockets, he got into a battle stance, I don't think I'll be able to fight him like this, so looks like it's time to transform!


Hikans's POV

"What... happened." I said outloud, I got out of the bed I was in, the bed was a queen sized bed, it had dark purple blankets and pillows and the sheet was black, the wall paper was mostly dark purple, I'm guessing wherever I was, this person likes purple, I got out of bed and lifted up my shirt and looked at my chest, I had a bandage going all the around, but I didn't see no blood, I took off my shirt and started to unwrap the bandage, once I had it all off I saw a scar where I was stabbed by that sword, then the door opened and that same girl walked inside,

"are you- Ah! I'm sorry!" she said as she hid behind the door, oh yeah, I was holding up my shirt, this girl is way too good at coming in at the plot convenience moment,

"It's fine, you can come out now." I said and she came out from behind the door and was blushing, she was also still in her yukata, and it was very... revealing.

"I'm sorry for... trying to kill you..." she said and fidgeted a bit, why was she so nervous,

"You got nothing to apologize for, it's my fault that it happened, I was kinda being a pervert." I said, she looked at me then looked back down at the floor.

"It's okay... I forgive you." she said quietly, why was she so shy?

"Hey, can I ask you something?" I said, she looked up at me,

"Yes?" she said, she was really trying to not avert her gaze,

"What's wrong, why are you acting so shy?" I said, she averted her gaze and poked her fingers against each other,

"Well, you are... in my... apartment and... it's just us here." she said quietly, I guess it's because she's alone with me, which I can understand that.

"This is your apartment? Where are we?" I asked, she looked at me again,

"We're in my apartment in Leanbox, I... carried you... here." she said, wow if she carried me all the way to Leanbox from the lake then I'm very impressed,

"Oh right, I'm going to ask you a good bit of questions, if you can answer them that is, I won't force you." I said, she averted her gaze from me and mumbled something from under her breath then looked at me again,

"I... can answer them." She said, she was so shy that I started to blush a bit, she was so cute,

"Alright, first, Why were you in the lake?" I said, kind of a bad question, but still.

"Well, I thought it would be nice to take a bath." She said, understandable.

"Second, How did you control your sword like that." Not even I can do that.

"Uh... well, I'm... not exactly..." She struggled to say,

"You don't have to say if you don't want too." I said, she shook her head,

"No! I can answer it... I'm not... normal." she said, I can understand why she couldn't say it, I mean I'm not exactly normal either.

"I can understand that, but the third and last question-" I said, but she interrupted me,

"Wait... I want to ask you something." She said then averted her gaze again,

"What is it?" I said, she took a deep breath then faced me again,

"Do you remember anything about your past?" She said, I gave her a shocked look, just how much did she know me?

"I know a little bit, but how do you know me?" I asked, she forced herself to stay looking at me,

"Well... I might... have been watching over you..." she said, her face was blushing so red that she would be the picture of a tomato, wait watching over me, then...

"Were you the one that shot the killachine with the arrow?" I asked, she nodded, then she was in Lastation at that time, was she following me? "How long were you watching me?" I also asked, she didn't say anything, she just kept staring at the ground, what is she thinking about?

"Hikan... you don't remember who I am, but I don't know if I should tell you." She said, I don't know who she was, but am I supposed too?

"Go ahead and tell me who you are, I might remember who you are." I said, she looked up and smiled a little,

"Alright, my name is-"


Neptune's POV

"Hah!" I slashed my sword at Nagana and he sidestepped out of the way, Iffy came up behind him and slashed at him as well, but he was able to dodge it easily, he was very agile on his feet, he was able to keep up with both of our attacks and dodge very easily, if either of us mess up, he'll get a free opportunity of an attack, he looked between both of us and leaped up into the air and threw his dagger towards me, I jumped back and flew off the ground and watched him, he then threw another dagger at Iffy and she deflected it back at him, only for him to grab it and threw it at me with intense speed, I only managed to dodge it by a hair,

"This is what I expected from the CPU of Planeptune, but you cannot defeat me." He said, he landed back on the ground and charged at Iffy, he was so fast that Iffy had no time to react, he grabbed her arms and locked both of them behind her back, I tried to intercept him, but he pulled out another dagger and held it to her throat, "Come with me peacefully Purple Heart and she won't die." he said,

"Using a hostage to your advantage, what a cowardly move." I said, he shook his head and looked at me,

"Do you care about these two that much that you will come with me?" he said, I can't attack him when he has Iffy in that hold, but she gave me the eye signal to "go with it", looks like Hikan has been teaching me well, I laid down my sword

"Alright, I surrender." I said, Nagana started to walk up to me, still holding Iffy with the dagger close by, then I saw the opening, I only needed to time this right, once he reached me, he started to pull out a device, that was my chance,

"..!" I grabbed my sword and did a uppercut slash, separating Nagana and Iffy, Nagana held his side and Iffy collapsed, I charged at Nagana and sliced at him again, this time he ducked and tried to kick my feet out from under me, I jumped up and kicked him, sending him rolling into a tree, I charged at him again, and once he reached the tree, I stuck my sword right in his face and held it there,

"Tell us where Hikan is." I said in an angered tone, I don't usually get angry, but this was Hikan that they were keeping secret from us, he looked up at me,

"Again, I'm impressed Purple Heart, you really are the strongest out of all the goddesses, but I don't have Hikan." Nagana said, my anger was starting to rise, I hate this, he's not telling me where he is!

"Stop dodging the question!" I yelled, I needed to find Hikan, but something I wasn't expecting happened, my sword de-materialized in my hand,

"Right on time." Nagana said, and he tackled me to the ground, he pulled out the device again and stuck it on my chest, the device immediately activated and transformed me back into my normal form...


What happened?! Why did I revert back?!

"So it does work." Nagana said, what did he do to me!?

"What did you do to me you pervert!" I yelled, only Hikan is allowed to touch me in that spot!

"I simply just had to test something out, and don't call me the pervert, you and Hikan already displayed that in Lastation," He said, How did he know?! "Anyway, you're coming with me." He also said as he walked up to me and grabbed my arm,

"Get offa me!" I said, I looked over towards Iffy and she was passed out on the ground and Compa was nowhere to be seen, I struggled to get out of his grip,

"Stop struggling." He said and he got a syringe from his pocket,

"NOOO, I HATE SHOTS!" I yelled and he injected me with it, my vision started to become blurry, Nagana threw me over his shoulder and started to walk off in a random direction.

"Hikan..." I mumbled, my vision turned black, Hikan... save me...
